Anna Gibbs · Executive Leadership Coach · Author
You can build a successful career, lead others well, achieve your goals — and still find yourself wondering why something no longer feels the same. Not because you've failed. Not because you've lost your ambition. But because somewhere along the way, the demands of leadership and success may have pulled your attention so far outward that you stopped listening to what was happening within.
Getting Back to You is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself — while honoring everything you've built.

Join the Launch ListGetting Back to You is for the woman who has built the career, led the team, carried the responsibility, and become known as the person others can depend on.
From the outside, her life may look successful. Yet privately, she may sense a growing distance between the life she is living and what feels true to her now.
That gradual drift is what I describe in the book as misalignment. It rarely happens all at once. It happens quietly, as responsibility, expectations, and the habit of being the capable one begin to shape your choices more than your own values, boundaries, and inner knowing.
Through personal stories, thoughtful reflection, and practical guidance, Getting Back to You will help you recognize what has changed, reconnect with what matters most, and move forward with greater clarity, alignment, and self-trust.
Recognize the subtle ways you may have become disconnected from yourself — even while continuing to succeed.
Understand how responsibility, achievement, and the expectations of others can gradually influence your identity and decisions.
Reconnect with your values, beliefs, boundaries, and inner knowing.
Rebuild trust in your own voice and make decisions with greater confidence and clarity.
Create a more aligned way of living and leading — without dismissing everything you've worked so hard to build.
Use the R.E.T.U.R.N.™ Method whenever life begins pulling you away from yourself again.
This book was written from my own lived experience — during a time in my life that called me to pause, look inward, and realign with who I truly was becoming.
I am a business leader, coach, consultant, and someone others turn to for clarity and direction. I've spent my career helping people navigate growth, change, and expansion.
And still, like so many women who lead, I found myself operating from old patterns that I didn't stop to question. I was doing what I had always done, yet nothing felt the same. I ignored the signs and just pushed through — telling myself it was nothing. Leadership was full of challenges, and holding it together was expected. Regardless of what I was feeling, I believed that needing support would somehow mean losing credibility.
I carried all that responsibility with pride for so long, until one day it felt different. And I realized that what I was carrying was quietly costing me more than I was willing to admit.
I didn't write this book because I have all the answers. I wrote it because I finally slowed down long enough to ask better questions.
Getting Back to You is not about reinventing yourself or walking away from the life you've built. It's about remembering who you are beneath the expectations, the roles, and the pressure to be everything for everyone else.
Getting Back to You helps readers recognize and understand the patterns that have pulled them away from themselves. The Companion Workbook is where the reflective work begins.
Designed to be used chapter by chapter alongside the book, the workbook includes guided journal prompts, thoughtful exercises, and practical opportunities to apply the ideas in each chapter to your own life.
Together, the book and workbook create a personal experience that moves beyond insight and helps you begin a deeper, more honest conversation with yourself.

It isn't about becoming someone new. It's about learning how to recognize when you've drifted from yourself — and knowing how to find your way back.
The R.E.T.U.R.N.™ Method isn't a one-time solution. It's a practice you can return to throughout your life — whenever your values, priorities, leadership, relationships, or identity begin to evolve. Because growth isn't linear. The ability to return to yourself is a practice you can carry with you for the rest of your life.
